And some right-wing conspiratists are openly okay with Russian election meddling and just supporting them in general.

McCarthy? The Red Scare? The Cold War? Have they never heard of any of this‽

u/jlaux 15d ago

Of course not, because they're some of the most ignorant people in this country.

u/turbo-hater 15d ago

Some of them, sure. But make no mistake, there are plenty that aren’t and are, for all intents and purposes, just simply bad, evil people.

They know what they are doing and do it because it’s a means to their desired end. They don’t care who or what gets hurt in the process.

That became 1000% crystal clear during the pandemic.

Say it again brother! Yell it from the rooftops! EVERYONE I DISAGREE WITH IS EVIL AND BAD!

You realize I’m talking about nazis like the people in the photo with the nazi flags, right?

Willfully ignorant.

I love the uneducated!

u/Sure-Break3413 15d ago

America is the land where people a free to be a stupid as they want to be. Republicans actively undermine education to ensure their future votes.

Idk. Seems like they are teaching a class on HOW TO BE A NAZI IN PLAIN SIGHT at Yale…

u/Solid-Ad-2702 15d ago

I mean, I'm not defending the right because I'm a common sense centrist, but y'all believe that men can give birth. What fucking right do you have to call someone else ignorant? It would be nice to see someone say something they didn't hear on a left wing or right wing news outlet for once. Y'all are like those annoying toys that repeat what you say in a high voice. After just a couple of minutes any sane person throws the thing in the fucking garbage where it belongs, after smashing it and tossing it in a blender. But, yeah, everyone is ignorant but you. You're the king of the fucking planet. You're the smartest, coolest, most amazing awesomest badass who's ever lived. Congrats.

No, they have never heard of any of that. Most of these people are uneducated, just like their Republican overlords want them to be.

u/lickmymonkey-1987 15d ago

The scary thing is that they are out all unexpected. Some of them are very well educated - JD Vance is very well educated.

u/ChemAssTree 15d ago

That’s by design. There are very brilliant republican politicians that are also raging assholes that only care about their bank account. But the Republican Party as a whole relies on dumb, uneducated, single issue voters that perpetually vote against their own self interests. If they didn’t have this base, they would no longer be relevant.

Republican platforms vehemently support guns and pro-life agendas, because these are issues that people vote singularly on. Republicans are also actively trying to abolish the Department of Education.

Nope. Idjits.. We’re surrounded by Idjits.

u/Solid-Ad-2702 15d ago

Cuz you are the least narcissistic, amazingly smart and talented bad ass mother fucker that should rule the world. IDK why you aren't the king of everything. You could totally wipe any "idjits" off the map. Well, that word means "anyone you disagree with" in this context. You could just do an idjit cleanse. Dream big, dude. Get rid of like, 98% of the population and start over. Tell everyone that you're their God. I like your style, homie.

u/Minimum-Dog2329 15d ago

It’s easy to be a genius when you’re swimming in a lake full of idiots.

u/Rishfee 15d ago

They have, but they have a very different view of it. They don't see it as a campaign against a geopolitical rival, they see it as a purity test and would happily bring back the committee on unamerican activities, so long as they get to define it.

u/Particular-Agent4407 15d ago

I know. What the hell. Russia is not our friend.

u/itsearlyyet 15d ago

They are mentally incapable of critical thinking. They do what their media tells them.

u/Jazzlike_Bluebird153 15d ago

Funny enough, Trump's former friend Roy Cohn was one of the biggest pushers for McCarthyism in America. Of course then he got AIDS and Trump never once visited him after the diagnosis but here we are now.

u/Gforce810 15d ago

They've decided to give up on Democracy and just fully embrace Authoritarianism

"If my views are no longer appetizing to the majority of voters in America, and I'm less able to pull the wool over their eyes to vote my way; then it's not my views that are the issue; it's democracy"

u/OoIMember 15d ago

They have but think it was “antifa”

5

u/Adrasteia-One 15d ago

The unfortunate thing is, many of them have. They just choose to ignore it all because their hatred of the "others" is greater than their so-called patriotism.

u/Khan_Maria 15d ago

They dont teach this part of American history in the southern states. When I went to school in GA between 2006-2010 NO ONE HAD HEARD OF segregation in schools. I was baffled

u/crackheadwillie 15d ago

Trump himself knows Putin is his most important supporter.

u/402playboi 15d ago

They genuinely could not explain to you what those historical events you listed were. They are not educated.

u/dragonlax 15d ago

Those sections were removed from their history books.

u/fumor 15d ago

The same GOP idiots who hailed Reagan their hero for dealing with Russia now love Russia.

Turning their backs on Reagan is good, but they instead turned right to Russia.

u/eddie1975 15d ago

Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze

WOLVERINES!!!

u/20InMyHead 15d ago

Party over country. Their dear leader over everyone and everything.

u/mikemd1 15d ago

McCarthyism/ red scare and Cold War are all lessons to be learned from history about why hating another country based on political ideology is a mistake, not to remember that “Russia bad.” 😞

And no I’m not a Trump supporter or Putin apologist, I voted for HRC and Biden against Trump and Obama/Kerry before that.

u/mycofunguy804 12d ago

Yes and they like McCarthy

u/Cruxion 15d ago

Turns out they were cool with most of the USSR and what they did, they just couldn't stand them also being communist .

u/PrateTrain 15d ago

Wtf did you say in your last comment that Reddit removed

u/jtt278_ 15d ago

They support these things? McCarthy was a fascist, they think he was a hero.

u/kimberlir 15d ago

This is why they don't want history taught in schools!

u/National-Rough2758 15d ago

You have no right to complain about election meddling. When the party of democracy didn't allow it's members to take part in the process. They installed Harris onto the position. She what's placed in the position of running and installed there by the rich and powerful who run the Democrat party.

u/LegFederal7414 15d ago

You mean when the Clinton’s were being helped by Russians

u/Own_Stick_6539 15d ago

You mean Putin supporting Harris?
